“There are nice cars and fancy suits in the movie, but we’re also showing where all that eventually leads,” Connolly told EW. He also noted, “HBO made a Gotti movie in 1996, but his death, which was horrible, hasn’t been covered too much. That’s a different angle that we’re going to explore.”

Gotti was acquitted in three separate criminal trials before he was eventually convicted of murder in 1992. He died in prison at the age of 61.
